The Early Birds

Peggy the southern belle. Kath the pragmatist with the only Norfolk accent in New York state. Gayle the preacher with healing hands. Mrs Colonel Audrey Rudman forever keeping up the standards of the Officers' Wives Club. Lois who's never had a thought she didn't voice. Loudly. Their menfolk may be long retired but once a US Air Force wife always an Air Force wife and the bonds of friendship forged in base after military base are still going strong 50 years later. Time is rendering its Accounts Payable for all of them now: hip replacements eye problems forgetfulness and departures.
